It’s been a derelict site at the heart of one of Birmingham’s finest suburbs for more than a decade.

But the wraps have finally come off the new M&S Foodhall in Moseley on the site of a long-closed former Meteor Ford garage.

Dozens of people swarmed into the shop when it opened at 10am today (Wednesday, September 27) with free fizz for the first customers.

The store has more than 9,000 feet of floor space, which isn’t far behind the 15,000 square feet you’ll find in the Foodhall of M&S’s High Street flagship store in central Birmingham.

From shelves packed with fresh meat and vegetables to rows of ready meals and shelves loaded with drinks galore, there’s something for every taste – including vegetarians, vegans and people who want foodstuff’s ‘made without’ wheat.
